Deposit and return period both unlawful

RISK

For an unfurnished let the deposit is capped at one month, and it must be returned within one month (two if there are deductions), with a 10% penalty per month of delay (Art. 22).

Two clauses are void by law

RISK

Banning pets and imposing direct debit as the only payment method are both listed in Art. 4 as "réputées non écrites": unenforceable even though you signed.

Flat-rate charges with no reconciliation

CHECK

In an unfurnished let charges are provisions with an annual reconciliation and supporting documents you may consult (Art. 23).
